Society and Spirituality ✡ "May Hashem, Maker Of Heaven And Earth, Bless You From Tzion" - Israel365

May Hashem, maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Tzion. Psalms 134:3 (The Israel Bible™) יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה מִצִּיּוֹן עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ Hear the verse in Hebrew ye-va-re-khe-KHA a-do-NAI m'-TZEE-on O-seh sha-ma-YEEM va-A-retz Society and Spirituality Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch notes how similar in size, and complementary in message, this psalm is to the previous one. Each of these short psalms contains only three verses and focuses on Israel’s dwelling in the Land of Israel. However, Psalm 133 speaks of the interpersonal element, while Psalm 134 reminds us that the spiritual element must be present as well. Psalm 133 presents the social component of Zionism, which is how the land was built up in the modern era: “How good and how pleasant it is that brothers dwell together.” And each of the verses of Psalm 134 speaks of blessing Hashem (God), to remind us that the spiritual component of returning to the land must complement the social one. When both aspects are present, says Hirsch, God will bring down the heavenly blessing from Tzion (Zion). More on the meaning behind Psalms

Lift my eyes up...

I will lift my eyes to the hills, from where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord the Maker of Heaven and Earth. PSALMS 121:1,2 אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל הֶהָרִים מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי עֶזְרִי מֵעִם יְ-הוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץתהילים קכא:א,ב eh-SA ay-NIE el he-ha-REEM may-ah-YEEN ya-VOE ez-REE ez-REE may-EEM ah-doe-NIE oh-SAY sha-ma-YEEM va-ah-RETZ

Today's Israel Inspiration This famous chapter in Psalms asks for God to provide  assistance through all of life’s trying moments, but according to Jewish mysticism, it contains a specific secret formula as well.  “From where does my help come” in Hebrew is ‘from where does  my עֶזְרִי come from." This is the same word used in Genesis when  God creates Eve to be an כנגדו עזר/ a ‘help mate’ for Adam.  Accordingly, Psalm 121 is considered to be particularly potent  when praying for an appropriate spouse, as in "my help mate  comes from the Lord."
